Battle of the Two Cities: Begins with the Mage

"Development of augmentation technology!? No, this is absolutely not possible!" Heimerdinger stood in his seat and objected fiercely.

"Amplification technology? What is that?"

Jace wanted to ask before, but now he finally couldn't hold back his voice.

"Mechanically transform the body, replace the heart with primitive gems, and continue to supply energy to the body."

Camille's eyes shone with bright blue light, full of unquestionable:

"All sacrifices are worth it in order to protect Piltover."

"Mechanized body? Is that still human? I object." Caitlin slapped the table.

There was a lot of discussion among the MPs, and their opinions were divided into two factions.

Headed by Camille, he believed that it was worth sacrificing some of the magistrates in exchange for the peace of Piltover, and Heimerdinger believed that the concept of human nature should be maintained.

While they were discussing, Victor bent down, leaned into Ryan's ear, and asked softly:

"Your Excellency, is augmentation technology possible?"

What he wanted to ask was not to popularize all mankind, but to help him carry out similar transformations. Ryan has said that his body can be cured, but even if it is cured, congenital factors will cause his physique to be flawed, and he wants to be perfect.

Ryan knew that Victor would ask this question, and An Zhiruo said, "In my eyes. There are five ways for Runeterra to achieve greatness."

Victor heard Ryan's reply with a curious look on his face, knowing that it was related to his question.

"The first type is magic, mastering all the runes in the world, and the gods of the giant gods will also surrender. The Rune Mage is the representative of this path."

"The second type is to use martial arts to become the most powerful body in the world, and no one can break its defenses. Noxus' Darius and Demacia's Garen are the best in this way."

"The third type is to break through with external forces, and achieve ambition with the help of demons, voids, or various magical powers. This path is more dependent on opportunities, but it also comes with dangers."

"The fourth type is the spirit of nature. Some creatures are born from the power of faith and are born with extremely powerful abilities. We respect these creatures as demigods. Zaun and Piltover have one."

"The Spirit of the Wind?"

Victor was shocked and blurted out a name, and the legend of the seaside crew being rescued by the wind resounded in his mind.

"That demigod is indeed of the wind attribute. I haven't seen her true face, but her power appeared a few nights ago, otherwise the collision at Gilaman Manor would have destroyed 14's Piltover."

"No wonder..."

Victor was stunned, and continued to look at Ryan with curious eyes:

"Your Excellency, what about the last one?"

"The last one..."

Ryan glanced at him with a smile, and said word by word:

"I named it... Machine Ascension!"

"The machine soars?"

Victor said this word in his mouth, his eyes moved down slightly, looking at his legs that were so thin that they had only bones, and said the guess in his heart:

"Abandon the weak body, keep only the brain, and move towards Zhigao with a mechanical body."

After finishing speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate, and changed and added:

"No... The brain is not necessary. As long as there is a soul, the soul carries consciousness, and if you create a mechanical body, you can get immortality."

"Very clear idea, but why not be bold." Ryan encouraged with a smile, "What is the essence of the hex crystal?"

"It's magic! The fusion of the shell people and the original crystal creates a self-recovery magic." Victor blurted out.

Immediately afterwards, the more he thought about it, the more he thought, and even though he was still in the parliamentary hall, he whispered excitedly:

"The beauty of machinery is that it can be made infinitely with materials, and the quantity wins. But ordinary people can't control so many machines, so that they have self-awareness and can't exert all their power..."

"If you use magic or runes to create a core that is far stronger than the core of the hex gem, then you can use it as a carrier to have computing power that breaks the limits of the human body, and every machine can be accurately manipulated, and the core will not regret it. , I shall be immortal!"

"The operation method is also very simple. Use magic to strip the soul, then inject the soul into the core of Ascension, and then link it with runes, and create multiple sub-cores to ensure safety..."

Ryan rubbed the ring on his finger, a transparent barrier wrapped him and Victor, not a single sound could be exposed.

He listened carefully to Victor's thoughts, nodded occasionally, and sighed inwardly that the other party was indeed a genius on the technology side.

He just dared to think about such fantastic ideas, and the other party made the plan immediately.

But he is not envious, this kind of impersonal method is not his way.

"...The core built in the initial stage can be merged with multiple hex gems, and the mechanical body can also be made with it. You may also need to trouble your Excellency to preside over the transfer of the soul."

After listening to Victor's narration, he raised his head slightly with a solemn expression:

"Victor, do you understand what it means to abandon the body?"

"It means that you can't perceive pain, you can't perceive weakness, the five senses rely on machinery, and even..."

Victor said, with a rare smile on his face:

"Losing most of the emotion."

"Looks like you've already made up your mind." Ryan was a little surprised.

Once at the embassy, ​​he had a similar question to Victor, the root of the problem was Zaun and Piltover, but Victor

Tow hesitated.

But today's similar question is about himself, but Victor's expression is very firm.

"From that night."

Victor glanced at the red-faced Jace who was arguing from the sky, and forgot to look at the determined Heimerdinger, with a smile on the corner of his mouth:

"I'm not sure if this is the only chance I have in my life, but I don't want to leave me with any regrets."

"Including the Piltover girl who followed you to Zaun?" Ryan raised his eyebrows.

He had heard a few days ago that Victor's previous female assistant had swam the Boundary River overnight and joined Victor's command.

"Skye..." Victor was silent for a while, "She will understand me, this is the path I have pursued all my life."

"If you make up your mind, I will do my best to help you and open up all my treasures, in order to see the day you evolve and soar." Ryan saw the firmness in Victor's eyes and promised himself.

"Thank you, Your Excellency. Thank you very much for giving me a glorious evolution." Victor bowed his head and said respectfully.

"Okay, this is what I should do. The price you paid is worth it. They should also get the results. Listen to their crusade against you." Ryan smiled.

"The price... From the moment you gave me the confidence to stand on the boundary bridge, I decided to offer all my loyalty, Your Excellency Meredith." Victor meditated in his heart, remembering the other party's kindness deeply. mind.

He raised his head and looked at the familiar people in front of him.

In the end, Jess was persuaded, and the Council approved Camille's Total War petition by five votes.

But Jace's support is conditional, and the condition is to allow Camille to show the strength of the Amplification Technology, crusade... He, Zaun's number one rioter, Victor.

How ironic that when he fell into the deepest despair, it was Lord Meredith of Noxus who came to the rescue and promised him a glorious future.

However, the teachers and partners he was familiar with rejected his ideas time and time again, and rejected the ideal he hoped for in his heart, even if it could completely eradicate the conflict between Zaun and Piltover.

From the beginning, only Lord Meredith shared his loyalty and worth.

Victor looked up at the parliamentary hall where the results came out, with fascination in his eyes.

The glorious evolution is about to begin! He presents himself to Lord Meredith with a perfect repertoire.
